  1. Return to campus by Aug. 23

We encourage you to arrive as soon as possible, so you are successful as a student. Professors expect you to be in class on the first day, August 23, and to attend all classes from the start of the term. We understand if you are doing your best to arrive on time but are being challenged to do so.

If you are not able to join us by the end of the first week, you must email your professors to notify them of why you are unable to make it and ask them to accommodate you until you arrive. You can find your professors’ information in your myWSU class schedule. Please let us know how we can support you to ensure your success at WSU.

If you are unable to arrive on time, please submit this form so we can best advise you on your options. You may wish to consider virtual options or deferment. Please contact our office at ip.intlservices@wsu.edu with any questions.
